6. Underwriting

The information from your application begins to go through a verification process to ensure your debts and income match the information provided. In addition, an appraisal is ordered to confirm the value of your prospective home. A title search is also done to ensure there are no problems with ownership of the property such as outstanding tax liens, judgments, additional mortgages or owners, or anything else that could cause problems in transferring the property to you. Through automated processes and by keeping the process in-house, our average underwriting turn time is 48 hours—getting you to the closing table faster.

7. Buy and Close!

Your Home Buyer Expert will work alongside any pertinent parties, including escrow agents, lawyers, etc., to close your loan as quickly as possible—typically 14 days or less. Where you live will determine any additional waiting periods or closing processes, but all will be streamlined so that you’re prepared and ready to accept the keys to your new place.

*Closing times may vary based on various transactional factors such as borrowers’ document response times, property locations, and credit profile.  

Congratulations! You are a Home Owner.
